Paige, that takes effort. Scruffy did not pay his membership fee so that he would have to do work.

Google urbanization and the water cycle. Not exactly just about collecting rain in rain barrels but it's an interesting topic.

Posted by Kickit2Peterson7 Has to do with the natural irrigation of land or something. Basically people who collect it on a very mass scale can really screw up the surrounding environment. This applies more to farmers who would collect it on a mass scale then someone collecting in a barrel or two.

Sounds reasonable

In places like california, especially LA this is common. Water north of LA is earmarked for LA after it falls. LA does not get enough rain for the population so they rely on water above them.

Also, in Baton Rouge there is no "city" water. BR water company is privately owned.

Friend of mine living in Laffy said you need a special permit that allows you to collect rain runoff from your roof because it is illegal

Don't many municipalities charge taxes for areas in the yard that are covered in concrete or non porous materials due to runoff management costs such as storm water drains?

The funny thing is as areas become more developed, there is less natural seepage that takes places. This really screws up creek and river flood studies down stream. If you're only collecting roof rain water, then you're not going to see much of a difference down stream. And it's not like you are eliminating water from the cycle; its just taking a slightly different route on a very small scale.

Which states? I've been in AZ for a while and it seems as though it is encouraged here. Is this geared to industrial or commercial applications?


Colorado for one. And it is illegal for any purpose, not just industrial.

Seems like it would be tough to enforce on a residential level.
